    This was our most glaring weakness last night, IMO. I want to know what Houston can do to change this. Ward looked a little more confident bringing the ball up the floor than Tyronn Lue (who looks frighteningly like Lil' Romeo, but that's neither here nor there), but I still don't feel comfortable with those two trying to beat a full-court press. We showed the rest of the NBA how vulnerable we are to a little backcourt pressure.

    What can we do? Is Sura capable of beating a press better than either of these guys? Gaines? BARRETT??? I know that Detroit is one of the best teams at applying a full-court press, but that doesn't mean other teams are inept at it, either. I'm just worried about what I saw, particularly during the second half.

    Thoughts?
